Interrupt process in samba share mounted folder breaks mount

Question

I can successfully mount a Samba share on a local folder in Opensuse 12.1:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<username>,password=<password> //<win-box>/<share> <mountpoint>

The problem comes if i interrupt (^C) for example a long cp process in <mountpoint>: I get

> cp -r BIG_FOLDER/ /tmp
^C
> ls
ls: reading directory .: Permission denied

The only solution I found is to sudo umount <mountpoint> then mount again.

Any advice is welcome!

I have a problem similar to this. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with CIFS and if I ^C a call to "find . -name -exec blah {} \;" then I get the behavior you describe. For me, fuser and lsof don't show any useful information. Perhaps a kernel bug or a CIFS / SAMBA bug.

This bug does not seem to be in kernel version 2.6.32.

I have submitted this to the Debian kernel team:
